I have always wanted to build a single speed trail bike from a newer aluminum beach cruiser and this thread will be my lessons learned and cost. I found the bike I was looking for on craigslist and traded an old tv that was laying around the house :D Lesson #1 I didn't want a coaster brake so...

Re: Re: Hey zorro just looked at your build. Very nice 8) . How do you like the exotic seat post and hanle bars? I was considering them for another project. I really like the carbon exotic fork on mine.

Re: These are great bikes, kevlar/carbon tubes. I would install a rigid carbon fork. keep the XT components if in decent shape. Lightly sand tubes and respray clear. I also would keep an eye on the frame for separtion but it should be ok. If there is separation it can be re-glued with a quality...
